[JAWSLite] Re: reading voices strange in say all

It sounds like you have Say All configured to use SAPI 5. Go into 
configuration Manager for your default configuration and go to Set 
Options -> Say All Options .... There you can tell JAWS not to use SAPI 
5 during Say All or you can change which voice is being used.
